Was it Scuba Steve or Suicidal Lemming that did the DNA strand with mines? It was glorious!!

zoid fuzor? You do know that they time out after 15 mins, right? ANd you can only carry 20 max at a time? And your mines won't detonate nearby mines from people on your team...

You forget there was also a bug that if you were lagging realy badly you could lay as meny mines as you wish.....i dont remember though if they blew up..it was nice though:)

The mines need to be about 20m away for a nice firework. It's something like 7000m from one station to another. That means that you need 350 mines minimum. That's 18 trips. Now, near the stations it's easy, but near the middle travel time to reload will be long. So you're probably talking an average travel time for reload of 30 seconds round trip (if you're a great pilot, this is). Then you're talking a further 60 seconds to lay your mines. This means that to lay those mines is a minimum of 27 minutes, and by the time the middle is done the ends will be expired and will vanish. The only way this will be possible is if you lay half of them and have someone from another team lay the other half. Even then, you'll be cutting it extremely close.

MATH:

((30*18)+(40*18))/60

roguelazer if i put mines 30m away from each other they still detonate each other off. so 7000 divided by 30 equals 234, 234 divided by 20 equals 12. i am not trying that anymore, instead i layed mines from s5 outpost to s8 wh succesfuly

"who is scuba steve?"
-A legendary mine-artíste for the pre-reset days of old.
I made my fair share of mine art too as I recall. I believe my "Mine DNA" was especially popular. As was my mine-spiderweb under the S9 station.

I actually made some mineart post-reset... but almost nobody came to see it, so it was just me, a few busses and the mines... -.-
